On March 30, we start a study of Reflections on the Psalms, by C.S. Lewis that should take us through most of June. In this book, Lewis breaks out themes he sees in the Psalms, and addresses some of the common concerns that people have about the Psalms such as “What do we do with the cursing Psalms?” when the writer of the Psalm curses his enemy and wishes terrible things would happen to them; “Why does God want us to praise him?”; “Can we really relate to poetry written for a very agrarian culture?”; and “Is it appropriate to apply a New Testament understanding to Old Testament scripture?” Lewis can be challenging to understand as he is writing as a professor of English Literature at Oxford, but his insights and thoughts can help us look at the Psalms differently and find new meaning and understanding in familiar scriptures.
